What it does

Guideline Inclusion is an agent skill from hh-health-AI/healthcare-equity. This skill should be used when the user asks about "guidelines", "USPSTF", "ACIP", "NCCN", "compendia listing", "screening recommendation", "vaccine recommendation", "guideline catalyst", or wants to know whether a guideline change will move adoption or coverage for a product.

Its SKILL.md is about 800 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/guideline-bodies.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Synthesis engine for buy-side healthcare equity research. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks about guidelines
  • Compendia listing
  • Screening recommendation
  • Vaccine recommendation

Example prompts

  • “guidelines”
  • “USPSTF”
  • “compendia listing”
  • “/guideline-inclusion”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the relevant body and the exact mechanism for the product
  2. Get the calendar. These bodies publish meeting dates, draft-comment windows and
  3. Read the draft, not the rumour. The draft's evidence statement and the comment
  4. Trace the coverage consequence explicitly. Which payer types are obliged, from

  6. Quantify through the funnel. A screening recommendation acts on the diagnosed
  7. Check the lag. Guideline-to-practice change is slow and uneven: coverage changes
  8. Emit the brief.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c7bda8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Guideline Inclusion loads about 800 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 388 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~800
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Guideline inclusion tracker

Track guideline-body decisions as dated adoption catalysts and translate them into coverage and volume consequences.

Workflow

  1. Identify the relevant body and the exact mechanism for the product:
    • Preventive service or screening test → USPSTF (A/B grade triggers no-cost-share coverage under ACA §2713, generally effective for plan years beginning after the recommendation).
    • Vaccine → ACIP vote, then CDC director adoption, then the VFC resolution.
    • Oncology therapy or off-label use → NCCN category, because payers reference the compendia.
    • Chronic disease management → specialty society standards (ADA Standards of Care each January; ACC/AHA; GOLD; KDIGO), which move practice but carry no coverage mandate — a slower and weaker catalyst that is often over-modelled.
  2. Get the calendar. These bodies publish meeting dates, draft-comment windows and publication schedules in advance. Draft recommendations are posted for public comment before finalisation, which usually gives one to three months of visibility on the likely outcome — the single most useful and least used feature of this catalyst class.
  3. Read the draft, not the rumour. The draft's evidence statement and the comment volume tell you how contested it is. Monitor the page with scripts/page_snapshot_diff.py so a change is detected the day it happens.
  4. Trace the coverage consequence explicitly. Which payer types are obliged, from which plan-year date, and with what cost-sharing change. Then hand it to a reimbursement engine → coverage-check for the Medicare position, which does not follow automatically from a USPSTF grade.
  5. Apply the governance-risk overlay. State plainly that the 2025 disruption to ACIP and USPSTF composition weakened the mechanical reliability of this linkage, and handicap the coverage consequence accordingly rather than assuming it.
  6. Quantify through the funnel. A screening recommendation acts on the diagnosed step of the epi-demand funnel, not on share. Re-run the funnel with the new diagnosis rate rather than applying a growth rate to revenue.
  7. Check the lag. Guideline-to-practice change is slow and uneven: coverage changes at the plan-year boundary, clinician behaviour over quarters to years. Model a ramp, never a step, unless the mechanism is pure cost-sharing removal at a fixed date.
  8. Emit the brief.

Not-automatic

A guideline recommendation does not license a revenue step change. It licenses a change to the coverage terms and to one specific step of the demand funnel, with a lag, and now with governance risk attached.
